So do we have any fellow Gardeners out there? I'm ordering my seeds and will start Stocking up on Soiless mixes and seed Starting mixes.. Hoping to really get a great garden going and stocking our pantry with wholesome foods for the coming 2011 year and beyond. One of the great things that I find is that we still have Open Pollinated seeds and the Monsantoes of the world haven't reached their corporate goal of being the only seed holding company in the world. Open pollinated and heirloom seeds can be saved and grown every year. This is all I will be buying this year.. One of the great things about saving seed is that you acclimate the seed to your personal environment within your "small bit of earth". You do this buy saving seed from the best fruits and plants you grew looking for traits within those crops that appeal to you personally. The other great thing about saving seed is that when the time comes that seed becomes scarce you will have food.. Smitty Cityhomesteader
